It is not uncommon for showbiz folk passing through Detroit to spend some time enjoying our fine drinking establishments. And far be it for the members of the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, who wrote and starred in Super Troopers and Club Dread and made no small contribution to the big-screen remake of The Dukes of Hazzard, to break tradition.
So when they visited Detroit a few weeks ago, two of the five Lizards, Paul Soter and Kevin Heffernan, spent the afternoon at the Royal Oak Brewery, and, joined by Jay Chandrasekhar, some of their evening in the Royal Oak branch of O'Toole's. Unlike some showbiz people we could mention, however, they had an excuse. Or at least a rationalisation.
